While I have the box off....
Is there anything I should do while I have the box off of my truck? I was pondering maybe replacing some brake lines, the shocks and the u joints in the driveshaft. Is there anything I should do to the fuel pumps? Anything else anyone can think of?

Well, Im not sure how many miles are on the originals, and Im planning on throwing a 351 into it. I did kinda have that in mind but i wanted to see what others thought, if it would be worth it or not.

I was thinking about paint, but someone in our chapter made a pretty good point one time about that. Unless i was gonna do a fairly complete resto, and take teh whole body off and paint the whole frame, would it be worth it?

I painted just the top and sides of my frame with the box off... and did the front half with the cab and fenders on. my truck is lifted with a body&suspension so I did it mostly for appearance. I agree that it's kinda a half job but I dont have the space or time to do a complete body off resto and I'm amazed at how much of a difference it made to the appearance of my truck... it wasn't a fun job to do (specially the front half w/fenders and cab on)but me thinks it was well worth it...
